  1. Re:Quick question. on School Admins Demand Access to Students' Cellphones · · Score: 1

    having a gun is having a lethal weapon, lethal even when used accidently - just not generally a good idea to have around living things. carrying a cell phone is considerably less lethal.

  2. Re:Intel is doing something right. on AMD Admits To Slowing Sales · · Score: 1

    I haven't purchased an Intel chip for my last 4-5 computer purchases. I doubt I will purchase intel in the future. In some lovely intangible way, AMD is my preferred processor.

  3. Re:interesting but on Solar System in a Can May Reveal Hidden Dimensions · · Score: 1

    jesus man, if you believe the numbers, 10% of defense budget spending could fund nasa for centuries

  4. Re:Your Answer, Stephen on Stephen Hawking Asks The Internet a Question · · Score: 1

    technically, when the species changes in order to adapt to the environment, what the species was before (the old species) is now dead. you need to be more specific and indicate that it is the bloodline, not the species, that persists.

  5. Re:Chicken and egg and chicken and egg and on Google Fires Off Warning to US Telcos · · Score: 1

    Oh but you forget how interesting it would be to see who would be left living after the engineered-disease did its destruction.

    uh, how about server logs. "gee, the last 200 negative ratings on this account were from 200 accounts that had been registered for less than 2 days..."

    i didn't know chinese people were cut off from the rest of the world... i somehow think this is untrue

    reciprocal links are preferred, indeed! i'll tout your brand if you'll tout mine. it's not you tout my brand, or else ... someone please apply this to real life...

  11. Re:Incomplete study... on Cell Users As Bad As Drunk Drivers · · Score: 1

    i smoke more pot than one would think was humanly capable. i'm completely capable of following all the boring ass usa's road rules. to be honest, i wish american roads were more like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MutGKWKBNg&search= crazy%20arabs but hey, cruising on california freeways with your windows down and your music up is all good for me.

  12. Re:CPU is power on Is SETI@home Where Your Cycles Belong? · · Score: 1

    100 is nothing... if it is, your budget is far too tight.

    18 years is such an arbitrary indicator of maturity.

  14. Re:When in Rome... on Internet Giving Homeless a Home · · Score: 1

    Communities of excluded and marginalized people.

  15. Re:Games have become horrible on Interview With Bing Gordon (EA) · · Score: 1

    Play some multiplayer games. Then you're playing against/with people, not against the work of coding teams. The dynamics of teamwork and communication are much more fun than save/attempt puzzle/reload/attempt puzzle/etc. Start a guild, start some beef, take over some digital territory, blow up someone's ship in EVE, i find all these things infinitely more fun than playing single-client games.

  16. Re:Government vs. Private on Interstate Highway System: 50th Anniversary · · Score: 1

    its nearly impossible to do anything of notice or merit without having thousands of observers, which usually includes a few hundred criticizing eyes among them who will drag down your project for the sake of safety, environmentalism, morality or whatever. the laws in this country are too binding to do much else besides let the corporations run amok and for everyone else to stick to their 50-year, 2.5 kid plan.

  17. Re:Internet, yes, but other factors too. on Internet to Blame for Lack of Close Friends · · Score: 1

    "If someone isn't making them a profit, or is (gasp) taking their time or effort without a mechanically measurable payoff of some kind, people are only too ready these days to "kick them to the curb" and look for friends who are profitable or represent a measurable gain of some kind, whether in prestige or job prospects or exclusive memberships or exploitable expertise/skills." What is wrong in seeking aspirations that leave people world-wide in awe, regardless of what language they speak? In writing things that people seek to have translated? In writing something to this world that is more than conversational drivel? Such things demand talent, exploitability, i would go as far to say personal value. how else can a person accomplish these things without seeking out the best in his/her field? why not be goal oriented?

  18. Re:CNN had a different figure on Earth's Temperature at Highest Levels in 400 Years · · Score: 1

    definitely sensationalism. also, even 100 millenia is still a tiny drop in the timeline-bucket.

    whenever people say competitive world environment, i wonder if they are aware of who is enforcing its competitiveness.

    if we were all concsious of the same long-term consequences, and equally aware of avoiding them, wouldn't we all turn out the same? monoculture is SCARY

  22. Re:News Flash!!! on Intern? Bloggers Need Not Apply · · Score: 1

    personally, i don't like to have any common links between the various roles i play in my life. i don't like school life mixing with weekend life mixing with recreation life, etc. sigh, i don't know how to explain it much further, but i think this is a general step towards the united hive mind of america.

  23. Re:Just a resonance? on Recipe for Making Symetrical Holes in Water · · Score: 1

    The researchers should repeat the experiment with cameras at very high framespeeds, and examine the changes as the geometric shape forms and rotates.

    Jokes! Same can be said for US foreign policy which actively restricts the economic development of basically everywhere it touches. Only those people don't die in a bomb attack, their entire lives are embroiled in suffering.
